More quotes by Jeanette Winterson
I go on writing so that I will always have something to read.
Jeanette Winterson
Stories end in reverie, tragedy, or forgiveness.
Jeanette Winterson
The future is foretold from the past and the future is only possible because of the past. Without past and future, the present is partial. All time is eternally present and so all time is ours. There is no sense in forgetting and every sense in dreaming. Thus the present is made rich.
Jeanette Winterson
How easy it is to destroy the past and how difficult to forget it.
Jeanette Winterson
the buddhists say there are 149 ways to god. i'm not looking for god, only for myself, and that is far more complicated.
Jeanette Winterson
It's not progress to take books off shelves. If one more person says this [ebooks] is the new Gutenberg, I will probably commit homicide, because the whole point of Gutenberg was to put books on shelves, not to take them off.
Jeanette Winterson
Somewhere between fear and sex passion is.
Jeanette Winterson
Cheating is easy. There's no swank to infidelity. To borrow against the trust someone has placed in you costs nothing at first. You get away with it, you take a little more and a little more until there is no more to draw on. Oddly, your hands should be full with all that taking but when you open them there's nothing there.
Jeanette Winterson
I am much better at saying how I feel when I no longer feel it.
Jeanette Winterson
Hopeless heart that thrives on paradox that longs for the beloved and is secretly relieved when the beloved is not there.
Jeanette Winterson
I am not tempted by God but I love his trappings.
Jeanette Winterson
I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.
Jeanette Winterson
Yes, the stories are dangerous, she was right. A book is a magic carpet that flies you off elsewhere. A book is a door. You open it. You step through. Do you come back?
Jeanette Winterson
Y'know, Nature's unpredictable -- that's why we had to tame her. Maybe we went too far, but in principle we made the right decision.
Jeanette Winterson
To kiss well one must kiss solely. No groping hands or stammering hearts. The lips and the lips alone are the pleasure. Passion is sweeter split strand by strand. Divided and re-divided like mercury then gathered up only at the last moment.
Jeanette Winterson
There are voices and they must be heard.
Jeanette Winterson
No emotion is the final one.
Jeanette Winterson
I have a head for heights it's true, but no stomach for the depths. Strange then to have plumbed so many.
Jeanette Winterson
Great control and great discipline are necessary when you reach your own editing stage of the book, but in the early stages you have to be prepared to let anything happen and to get it wrong or go off track. The development of a character is not smooth or simple - it is as tricky as meeting someone new whom you would like to know better.
Jeanette Winterson
If art, all art, is concerned with truth, then a society in denial will not find much use for it.
